" According to Robert Parker: "A potential sleeper of the vintage, this cru bourgeois is unusually successful, as were most wines from this appellation where the high percentage of clay in the soil resisted the torridly hot, dry waether conditions. A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by straightforward notes of black fruits and licorice. With low acidity, excellent texture, and a plush finish, it will drink well for 7-8 years." (04/04)"
